No Disc in Might & Magic Heroes VII Collector's Edition

This reddit thread and this thread on the Ubisoft forums reflect discontent among some purchasers of the Might & Magic Heroes VII Collector's Edition after they discovered this does not contain a game disc, but rather includes a code to download the strategy sequel. It was never explicitly stated that there would be a game disc, but a PC DVD logo on the listing on the Official Ubisoft Online Store (perhaps referring to the soundtrack) suggested this, and one of the perks of the CE is actually a collector's box to hold the nonexistent disc. There are a few responses from Ubisoft community management, but these seem isolated to those having trouble downling the game from Uplay. Thanks Darren.

I'm sure everybody prefers having their games on disc.

But, for those who are well-connected and like the excellent sales we often get here digitally - retail is a waste to even think of. Only time retail might be worth while to us is when a game is on major clearance and/or blow-out sale.

Problem seems to be, especially on the PC, at retail is that they keep sticking them on DVD's. That's especially even worse for the bigger-sized games. Who the heck wants to install 30+ GB games from on a ridiculous # of DVD's? What I'd do if they did the above that is just take my retail copy and if it connects to a service (like Steam, Origin, UPlay, etc) - I'll just let it do the download and go do something else for a while like watch a movie, TV show, or something else.
